Andy Reid spent 14 years coaching the Eagles, but the team hasn't won a playoff game since 2008, and this year their record was 4-12, the AP reported.

"Andy Reid won the most games of any head coach in Eagles history and he is someone I respect greatly and will remain friends with for many years to come," owner Jeffrey Lurie said, according to the AP. "But, it is time for the Eagles to move in a new direction. Andy leaves us with a winning tradition that we can build upon."

Lovie Smith’s Chicago players said he gave a short speech thanking them for their hard work and professionalism when the news broke that he was out after nine years, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

"I was just sad. Sad to see a guy go, who took such great care of you," linebacker Nick Roach told the Chicago Sun-Times. "He looked out for his team as if we were his children, and he did it for a lot of years. Just to have that type of leadership tossed out is just tough to deal with."

Buffalo gave Chan Gailey only three seasons – 6-10 was the team’s best year on his watch – but the former Dallas Cowboys coach said he is still a Bills fan, the AP reported.

"This will probably be, and I say probably, but I think it will be the first place that's ever fired me that I'll pull for," he said, according to the AP.
